So is hola vpn: https://www.theregister.com/2015/06/10/hola_gets_holes_poked...
At this point one must assume that any "free" vpn software is free because it uses its install base for DDoS / other traffic abuse.
Yeah, Nord is for example infamous for pimping out their users as scraping proxies: https://oxylabs.io/pricing/residential-proxy-pool
Nord as in NordVPN? Source in that case please?
Skimmed it and I don't see anything about Nord making their users into proxies, second link is questionable (since its deleted and you linked to an archive)
> Aside from its link to Oxylabs, Tesonet also advertises itself as a creator and investor of a number of online services, including NordVPN, Hostinger and others.
Where else would they get the 100 million users?
If they're truly hijacking end user clients, why don't you point to the section of their open source client that's responsible for that?

Easy enough to prove.
